Take sillakh for example. People already writing him off. He has a solid win over despagine who is a solid guy and is still a prospect. I agree with dana white and lou dibella in that losses in boxing can kill a persons career where as in mma (not a big fan) even though a person has losses what is more important is if they put on a great show or are marketable and people want to see them. Honestly that **** is terrible. Even if a fighter loses i still eould like to see them again if they are good regardless or at peast have the capability of getting better. Undefeated records mean nothing to me. What is more important is the substance of the fighter. For example emanuel augustus has a ridiculously long loss record but people still wanted to see him because he was great regardless and put on a good show. I won't write off fighters simple because of a loss. It happens, that's life.

Fans are so fickle in boxing. If Sillakh were to string a few wins together people will be saying the same thing they were before this fight. Hell, it might only take one fight for them to start talking it again. Fighters do fight too little though. Instead of fighting a bunch of fights a year and maybe one decent fight they are just fighting in big matchups so it's hard not to knock them way down when they lose.

Boxing fans love winners and winners only. In boxing "You're only as good as your last fight". If he looks damn good in his next fight against a solid opponent watch fans change their mind again about him....and we have to read threads like "Chad Dawson won't go 12 with Sillakh" "Chad is ducking Sillakh" and blablablablablabla

That's my biggest problem with boxing fans. Top fighters if they lose to other top fighters they get sh1tted on and prospects that are looking great get so much praise. Well, there's a reason why that prospect looks good....he isn't fighting the same talent! If the top fighters were fighting the same guys those prospects were fighting they would be icing them as well. People need to start taking in account who these guys are fighting.
